They ripped off, fuck!
Also: I'd rather pay the government for healthcare than pay an insurance company, who then pays the doctors.
Iβm happy to pay for the supportive housing, prescriptions and dental for individuals experiencing homelessness.
Damn I'm not experiencing homelessness but I sure as hell can't afford dental or medical care. Mostly because I'm paying for a place to live. I haven't had my teeth even looked at in 22 years. We need programs for the struggling working class too. I feed the homeless and often they're telling me about their doctor visits and I'm thinking how priveleged they are.
Yes please. Public option.
Question why there are any hungry and homeless.
What are you some kind of commie? Next you are going to ask why we have the orphan crushing machine probably
...and even if we could turn off the orphan crushing machine, how then would orphans be crushed??
Because we haven't eaten them yet
I'd prefer it quite frankly above everything else.
We should have a well thought out and agreed upon list of priorities and everyone eats and sleeps inside should be the first things. The money should all go there first
I mind if my taxes don't go to it!
I donβt mind if my taxes go to funding people who want to doss around making weird art, impractical furniture and/or shit music all day
Its 100% better than taxbreaks to AI
Hell yeah!
The world needs more of those things. Especially weird art.
shit music
I feel seen
Or feeding the homeless and housing the hungry.
What I DONβT want my tax money going to is rich people and corporations why donβt fucking need it.
Mutual aid rules
I dont care if there are lazy unmotivated people getting food and housing with my taxes.
Hell, I don't mind if my taxes destroy the housing market entirely. A housing market should not even exist until everyone has a house.
There's a bit of a capitalist propaganda over here (even if unintentional). The underpriviledge class in many ways exists because of wealth inequality. And statement like this normalizes putting the burden of the underpriviledge class back on to the working class (this underpriviledged class is often also part of the working class). This will further create wealth inequality.
So yes, we should support underpriviledged class but we should also understand the bigger picture and demand that these supports should come from the owning class either through wealth tax or by increasing the minimum wage etc.
One problem at a time. First we stop the working class and the underprivileged classes from fighting with each other. Then we all team up against the oligarchy.
Same. Iβd rather my taxes help people survive than disappear into waste and excuses.
I'm super concerned they'll be used to kill kids for being brown or murder me for being queer or fund cops who will hold the train doors open at every single station harassing passengers to the point there's a disclaimer on arrival times now.
If I thought they might get used to feed and house and educate and doctor people, even if it wasn't super efficient; I might even pay them. Hell I'd probably pay extra. Try to work for the government or something. If that's what the government did.
Anyway I'm still an illegalist.
Shut up tankie!!! /s
But if we help one group, other people in need might want help too. /s
Right. And it might cost us the ability to build three or so supersonic foreigner killing rockets. Gotta prioritize ability to create pain and suffering over basic human decency. (Hopefully this is obviously sarcasm.)
I mean whos gonna kill brown kids if we stop making them?
My coworker does ... he said the poor make more money than me or him and if we quit our jobs we'd be making just as much. I mean, we're in tech, I highly doubt the "poor" are as "rich" as he thinks. I had to tell him that I'm not a DOGE/Musk fan even though we live in Canada ... I said I'm very much a progressive. However, I asked him (since I don't have any kids and he does) if he'd like to cut me a check for all the tax dollars I've lost due to educating his children ...
I always find that argument hilarious.
"They have it so easy! They make so much money!"
You do it, motherfucker! There's literally no barrier to entry.
do "poor" exist in canada ?
Woah why are you being so political!!!!!
Im sorry, it was mistake! MODS DELETE THE POST! π‘
Thats exactly where I want my taxes to go.
I'd gladly pay more to have everyone be able to eat and sleep comfortably.
If we got rid of the extra 50% profit all these companies charge us, we could easily pay for all the things we need and more.
I have no problem paying more to help people, but we are paying more to hurt people now and it doesn't make sense.
Fucking Commie! /s
